P.S 13 Days 'til Corfu, yesssssssssssssss!

michael will be missed.

a tribute to MJ who sadly died yesterday.

i for one, actually loved michael jackson's music

so rather than joking about when i heard of his shocking death i felt saddened.

i had no sympathy for his personality or lifestyle choices

but he was a musical genius in every way

and i loved his tracks. my fave? man in the mirror, definately!

the price people have to pay for having such exraordinary talent is so high for everyone.

so many don't make it, or get destroyed from pressure or a lack of privacy

"celebrity" is probably the biggest killer,

there... i've saved the coroner a vedict.

P.S Soz, bit of a deep blog!

to do.

this summer i'd really like to...
(in no paticular order- chronological or importance)

1. get a tan. well, it's hardly a tan, more a glow- but it's as good as my skin gets
2. try to be good at tennis, so that i've got at least 1 sport i'm good at.
3. go to london - at least for a day.
4. buy something ridiculously expensive, because i won't be able to when i become a "student."
5. star gaze and fall asleep outdoors without meaning too.
6. swim in the sea.
7. drop a dress size, or at least tone up. i've become a bit addicted to 3 mile runs!
8. completley transform my i-pod. -a major update is needed.
9. make a mix-c'd then give it to a stranger.
10. spend at least one day volunteering to help somewhere that needs the help. well not a day volunteering..but i donated blood to help somewhere that someone that needs it.
11. go shopping in birmingham.
12. get a day pass and take loads of buses to places we've never been.
13. build up my portfolio with stuff i want to design, rather than "have" to.
14. learn to cook.
13. host a bbq, with a gazebo into the night, until tea-lights are needed. well a garden party 'til we could barely see each other!
14. learn how to do the laundry.
15. catch up with my relatives and people i havent seen in ages.
16. take all my coppers and get them changed into spendable money.
17. work lots of shifts so that i can afford to enjoy summer and a social life at uni.
18. promise to keep in touch with people, so much so that they get sick of me.
19. take a road trip to somewhere random.
20. take advantage of free places like museums and galleries.
21. go to the park and sit on the bench like old times.
22. have amazing nights out where when we're not dancing we're laughing.
23. have cocktails by the pool at ridiculously early in the day-o-clock.
24. go countryside walking with the 'rents because its what we used to do.
25. watch the ever-growing list of films i havent seen yet, but im depserate to. i've seen countless of amazing films this summer, but the list keeps growing. i get too easily drawn to trailers.
26. put teddy away in storage. hello, eighteen.
27. redecorate the "playroom."
28. sort my phone out, properly. well, the man in the shop said he'd fixed it...
29. accept that no difference can be made now, so forget results day until it comes.
30. pass my theory driving test and make an improvement on my driving.

I'm sure theres things i've missed, but i can always add them :)

today's hit list.

today, i can't help but love...
1. this video, i stumbled across it on a blog and its so creative.
i wish i had the patience to achieve something like this.

"it's the equivalent of pouring bleach in your eye"

my second day of summer?

i went for a drive, and got better... i only stalled once!
and then went shopping with my mum :)

after visiting my new optician
he told me my eye was fine after i thought id permenantly damaged it!

he just laughed and told me his GP mate had done the same

phewwwww

third day today!

went to the uni degree show

some stuff was amazing but we couldnt help having a little bit of fun with the "fine art"




















on the way we saw this man. i literally laughed my head off at him.





















then went for a slightly surreal but in a good way, meal with the design crew, including "the law"

funny times! :)

P.S i dont think i can keep this account up all summer, but its nice to remember :)

yesterday was the official day one of summer!
well like, a weekday not spent at a college.

i spent it "playing out"
after getting my nails done...



















and then playing tennis.
literally one of my favourites things.
i love that we're not that good and don't actually play a game.
i love that we spend hours on the courts, trying not to get radgy at each other.
and mostly i love that we whack the music up and turn it into the dancefloor!



















it rained and there was a storm with some major lightning
but we mostly played on!

somewhere over the rainbow

SUMMER IS HERE.

I didn't realise how much of change it would be, i literally have nothing i "need" to get done.

Gosh, it's been like 10 years since ive had no schoolwork to be getting on with.

Death of the geek?

Even last night. Saturday night (!) i spent in watching a film with mum again

Its somewhat of a growing tradition - two weeks in a row.

We watched Australia, its epic in length and story. Loved it!

The actual filming of Aus is stunning.

Next week will be spent living it up tho'

Death of the geek, indeed!

P.S I don't even know what Sunday is without homework?

who's david?

he is.

that is all, dismissed!

Bx

P.S David can't even finish a game of tetris sprint.

Nice try...

costume

yesterday i sat and watched the duchess with my mum.

she remarked on how awful life was for women back then...

...i remarked at the hair and the ridiculously good costume design.

sunshine

yesterday i played tennis in the sun,

walked home in the evening sun,

and rounded it off by watching little miss sunshine.

today?

i walked across the fields in the sun,

sat in the sun and revised,

and listened to summer-time feeling.

9 days 'til summer.

i can't flippin' wait.

Bx

P.S I almost adore the sunny weather as much as i do this man.
